ESPECIAL TO THE sEsrrNEL.l

NORTH EASTMAN, March 16.-An un-
known two-masted schooner went
ashore this morning about 8 o'clock
| two miles south of the life saving sta
ton at Nausette. All attempts to
reach her by the crew of the station
have failed. The sea is making a
clean sweep over the schooner, and
her hull is almost under water. Men
can be counted from the shore, dashed
to the foretop, and one man is clinging
to the bowsprit. The life saving crew
have fred 10 lines at the vessel, out of
| which only one reached her, but the
| sea is too heavy to do anything. There
is not much prospect of saving the
| crew, unless the weather moderates.
The schooner was bound south.
A 100000 Blaze at Oxford.
RALEIGH, N. c., March 16.-A fire
| broke out in Johnson's warehouse at
| Oxford at l 80 o'clock this morning.
There was a high wind, and the flames
spread rapidly in a southerly direction,
jumping Commercial Avenue and
burning houses on both sides of the
street for some distance. Half of the
business portion of the town was de-
stroyed, and % firms were burned out.
The loss is about 500, 900, and the in
surance scarcely half that amount.
The general belief is that the fire was
the work of incendalies, and great *
element prevails. The white people
think they could lay their hands on
those parties responsible for the on
fagration, and further trouble is feared.
